谈谈片头曲及‘杀死比尔’(剧透)
It was one year after the massacre in El Paso, Texas,
德州艾帕索市惨案的一年后,
from:《杀死比尔》
Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) - Nancy Sinatra 这首歌出现在片名字幕出现时,很简单的一首歌,只有一把西班牙吉他伴奏。但歌手却是传奇人物,她生于1940年,是60年代最受欢迎的军中情人,其父亲Frank Sinatra为经典抒情歌王,是20世纪最重要的流行音乐人物。曲调与歌词都很简单,但却和电影故事很贴切,仿佛"新娘"在低低述说与比尔的恩怨过往。温柔而具穿透力的声音一下子将观众带进女主角忧怨的心境。
lyrics:
I was five and he was six
we rode on horses made of sticks
he wore black and I wore white
he would always win the fight
bang bang
he shot me down
bang bang
I hit the ground
bang bang
that awful sound
bang bang
my baby shot me down
seasons came and changed the time
when I grew up, I called him mine
he would always laugh and say:
'remember when we used to play:
bang bang
I shot you down
bang bang
you hit the ground
ban g bang
that awful sound
bang bang
I used to shoot you down,'
music played and people sang
just for me the church bells rang
now he's gone, I don't know why
and to this day, sometimes, I cry
he didn't even say goodbye
he didn't take the time to lie
bang bang
he shot me down
bang bang
I hit the ground
bang bang
that awful sound
bang bang
my baby shot me down
本是青梅竹马两小无猜,男孩却变心负了女孩。(于是女孩开始复仇,引出电影剧情)
杀死比尔系列两部电影充斥着横飞的鲜血和黑暗的情节,但说到底还是心碎、复仇与爱的故事。女主角是杀手组织的一名成员,因为怀上孩子不愿继续杀戮的生活于是躲至德州小镇,与普通人恋爱结婚却在婚礼上遭遇组织头目比尔(也是女主爱人)与其它成员的屠杀,女主陷入昏迷在四年后苏醒开始复仇之路。如Edgar Allan Poe所言,Years of love had been forgotten in a minute of hatred.过往的情意绵绵已经变成血海深仇,爱没了,只能剩下恨。一路鲜血的痕迹将女主引向曾经的爱人,意外地发现女儿还活着,最终她杀死比尔,带走了女儿。母狮与小狮子团聚。影片结尾女主在浴室地板上抱着一只毛绒狮子喜极而泣“谢谢你”,她感谢比尔给她女儿,她感谢她的新生。
Rhiannon's note:可能因为我自己是个感情用事的人所以对这一系列的电影深有感触,心碎之人缺的是仁慈不是理智。
